Ubisoft has announced Far Cry 4, an open-world, first-person shooter that delivers the most expansive and immersive Far Cry experience ever. Far Cry 4 will be available November 18 in the US and November 20 in the EMEA territories for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Windows PC.

Development on Far Cry 4 is being led by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with Red Storm Entertainment, a Ubisoft studio, Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Shanghai, and Ubisoft Kiev. In Far Cry 4, players find themselves in Kyrat, a breathtaking, perilous and wild region of the Himalayas struggling under the regime of a despotic self-appointed king. Using a vast array of weapons, vehicles and animals, players will write their own story across an exotic open-world landscape.

Customers who pre-order Far Cry 4 receive a free upgrade to the Limited Edition which includes Hurks Redemption, a series of three action-packed single-player missions featuring the popular character Hurk from Far Cry 3s DLC. The Limited Edition also includes Hurks signature harpoon gun called The Impaler. The pre-order is now available at all major retailers.

Fans can tune into Ubisofts Media Briefing at E3 for an exclusive first look at Far Cry 4. So personally I’m really excited about this because Far Cry 3 was nothing short of a masterpiece. The game brought the Far Cry franchise back in a big way, but I believe there is a very important question that needs to be asked. Is it too soon? I mean Far Cry 3 was in development for some time and I just don’t know if you can deliver that level of quality this fast. If anyone can do it, it would definitely be Ubisoft but this seems a little soon to me. I’m not a betting man, but something tells me this game slips into 2015.
